When building monolithic concrete structures, basalt mesh of grade SBNPs from Gridex has replaced metal reinforcement.

Panel specimens reinforced with steel and basalt mesh were tested on a special device that simulates earth tremors with a magnitude of 6 points. Earthquakes of exactly this magnitude have been occurring in Italy for the last 15 years.

Reinforcing mesh produced of basalt roving can be applied for the reinforcement of self-leveling floors, waterproofing course, joints, surfaces and facade plasters.

A number of major Moscow developers, such as “Morton Group,” LSR Group” and “Donstroy” started to use rust-proof basalt fiber mesh at their new construction sites. A novel material is resistant to the aggressive environment and reduces the consumption of adhesives.
